The game just morphs into something new every year... I'm still getting good value. Just keep having to adjust how I play.

Then again, I'd rather have quantity vs. luxury, and can often travel off-peak... so I can still find solid value for coach domestic flights and low-tier hotel properties.

Examples form this month are a 12.5k UA domestic one-way right at 2 CPM and a Marriott Cat 5 voucher when going rate was around $300 due to a conference.
